Tender designed to bring together 48k users running Oracle, Microsoft and more into 1 SaaS system
A five-month-old UK government department is set to lead a massively complex ERP procurement to bring together software running some of Whitehall’s largest units.
Expected to bring together up to 48,000 users on 15 instances of nine different software solutions, the tender for the Matrix cluster of the ERP program was published earlier this week, with the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology formed February 10 – leading the procurement.
According to official documents, the deal could be worth up to £215.6 million for 10 years, with the option of a two-year extension.
The deal is called a « bundled » procurement for a systems integrator for implementation, and support services will be for an initial period of five years, together with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deal for 10 years initially.
Departments within the Matrix cluster include the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, the Attorney General’s Office, the Cabinet Office, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, the Department for Education, the Department of Health & Social Care, the Department for International Trade and HM Treasury.
